ITT Staff Picks: - Adam Serwer, writes about the 2020 census findings and the history of how the United States has counted people who identify as white, for The Atlantic. - For NPR, Hansi Lo Wang reports on how the white population is changing based on the recent census results: “it's largely the result of a major shift in how the U.S. census asks about people's racial identities.” - The U.S. population is becoming more diverse, due to growth in Latino, Asian and multiracial populations, writes Rogelio Sáenz about the 2020 Census for Latino Rebels.
